We've just signed up for the SO hiring platform in order to contact willing candidates about a role we have going. In the process we've discovered that candidates actually need to go out of their way to enable a link to their SO profile (profile -> developer story -> edit top right -> pick network -> SO).

As both a hirer and a candidate this came as a pretty big surprise to me. It seems a shame to have built up a reputation on SO to not be able to use it when you're trying to get hired.

I thought I'd point it out in case anyone else was using the platform and hadn't enable that flag.
